CHARGERS HAVE MANY NEEDS TO FILL

Florida State’s Menelik Watson, a native of Manchester, England, is the fifth and final tackle who will attend today’s first round in person.

He is considered very raw, starting only 19 college games, including 12 last season at right tackle. At 6-foot-5 and 310 pounds with long arms, he has the physical makeup of a left tackle and could be a first- or second-day draft option for a team.

If the Chargers are still looking for their left tackle of the future on Friday, Arkansas Pine-Bluff’s Terron Armstead is a possibility.

Veterans Max Starks and Bryant McKinnie are available in free agency after the draft, but the Chargers would rather not be in the stop-gap business at such a critical position.
